People in East China’s Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, are the happiest compared to their peers in other Chinese cities, according to a new survey unveiled Saturday.

The findings, issued by the Guangzhou-based Haoda Lifestyle Research Institute, were made after polling over 10,000 people in 32 major Chinese cities in 2016.

In the nationwide list, South China’s Hainan, East China’s Jiangsu and Tianjin municipality in the North were rated the top three happiest provincial areas, while Hubei, Jiangxi and Qinghai were the unhappiest.
